Honestly, all I want to find out is what happened during the altercation that took place. And if there are any medical reports as well.
So does everybody else. Honestly this thread should be locked until the evidence comes out, because you can't argue with out facts to back shit up. Speculating is fine, but at the current time debating isn't.

I do somewhat agree with Alaistier.
I doubt he was a racist. However, I don't think that Trayvon was worthy of being shot.
I've read about it and Zimmerman wanted to be a cop. He called the cops many times before the incident, and each time the cops said to let it go.
What I think happened: Zimmerman saw Trayvon walking with a hood and a bag of goodies from a local store. Becoming curious, he followed Trayvon. Trayvon probably started to run when a guy in a white truck had been following him around the neighborhood (I would too). Zimmerman became more suspicious and approached the guy. He probably ended up getting the shit beaten out of him by Trayvon out of self defense. (If I had the capability to beat up a guy that was following me, I would too.) Zimmerman, being the idiot he is, shot him out of frustration and accused Trayvon of attacking him.

Okay, for the people who tl;dr. (Alaisteir)
I DO NOT think this is a racial issue, I'm was simply explaining how it was. (You can at least read this 1 liner.)
The sack? I'm about to explain how the media works, but here are a couple things you should know. You seem to justify "the media" as everything you ever saw on TV. If anything Fox is the most biased TV news reporter. Stations like MSNBC and even Comedy Central only report the truth and don't put a spin on things that don't need a spin off on. The only thing NBC did wrong was cut out a part of the audio that helped to determine if it was a racial issue or not (But it wasn't a significant part).
I'm not a bandwagon hopper, but even I know that Kony was only covered on the news for a couple hours and just like that, it ended. Why? That topic isn't ultimate concern.

Nobody said you couldn't have your own thoughts...But when you dispute thoughts that aren't the case...
So you're admitting that you would also shoot a black man if you heard about that because he was black and. somehow therefore, could be linked to the reports? You're not exactly making yourself look good here.
No seriously, do you?

For some reason I am unable to edit my post but: I DO NOT think this is a racial issue, I'm was simply explaining how it was factored into the problem. (You can at least read this 1 liner.)

Yes, the media warps most of what you've heard. Look at Kony for a prime example. Pretty soon, people'll catch on with Trayvon like they did with Kony:
Step one- bandwagon.
Step two- side with the smart people who saw through the bandwagon.

Im accepting of every single thought? I maybe I am, but that does mean I don't have my own thoughts on what might have happened.

More info for you:
There were 8 burglaries in the 15 months prior to the Trayvon Martin shooting. According to the same exact source, they were all committed by young black males. (Source)
Now, if you were in that neighborhood late at night, and you saw a suspicious young black male that you don't recall living in that area, what would you think? After the past 8 burglaries being committed by persons with similar characteristics what would you think?
So you're admitting that you would also shoot a black man if you heard about that because he was black and. somehow therefore, could be linked to the reports? You're not exactly making yourself look good here.
Really? Haha.
No seriously, do you?

Youtube Video of NBC's report on Trayvon Martin Case
Listen to that video and hear what Zimmerman says.
Tell me that wasn't done on purpose to make it seem like Zimmerman was racist.
EDIT:
Where did I say I would shoot anyone? I asked you what would you think... I'm done talking to you.

In this case you just I guess didn't read.
By asking me "...what would you think?" you're telling me that I should feel and think like Zimmerman, therefore, telling me that I should have the right to shoot someone who just looks suspicious (From what was presented, nothing more). By you telling me I should think, feel, and act like that, you therefore have the same idea since it came from you. I'm not putting words in your mouth, just post at your own risk.

And yes, this should be locked since all the facts haven't been presented and will then cause flaming.
